Orange County Register: Chapman Republicans and Democrats get together for spirited debate
media mention“Democrats: Members of the Young Democrats supported the idea of granting amnesty and full rights, including welfare, to undocumented immigrants, citing a recent report by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy that stated 11 million undocumented immigrants are paying an estimated yearly $11.64 billion in state and federal taxes. Chapman Democrats argued that if they’re putting that money in, they should receive the benefits of any other taxpayer. They concluded by reminding the room that everyone in this country, short of Native Americans, are immigrants themselves.”
